>> some of the unity also has to do with republicans wanting to flex their muscle on foreign policy. they haven't had many victories in terms of a lot of foreign policy, a lot of their policies have been discreditted by what we have seen over the last years in terms of the prosecution of the war on terror. so i think that's it. but i also think obama didn't do himself any favors by picking hagel. in some ways he's the only guy that wants hagel. democrats are not that excited about having hagel there. republicans are not happy. they want to drag it out. chris: what are you hearing from your reporters? >> i think that's right. the sense is he will be confirmed but there's still more time so we don't know what could happen. something new could come out. >> absolutely. >> change. chris: i think there may be a brilliant strategy. slow it down, slow it down, hope something breaks. bad news comes out of the woodwork. let's talk about something coming up on the subject of the march 1 showdown known as sequester. you wrote your new e-book called "here's the deal" in part, quote, democrats hav

. >> on the diplomatic front, the european foreign-policy chief is due to arrive in cairo later. what will be on her agenda? we are expecting her here any minute now. this will be her second visit since the deposed president was ousted. the main priority will be to meet the interim leadership like the president and vice president and the defense minister. they also want the freedom and justice party, the political wing of the muslim brotherhood, it is the second time they have been here but a lot has changed in last couple of weeks. we have had the military asked able to go to the street to carry out a campaign against what they are calling violence and terrorism. we have had the interior minister say the anti-military rallies will be cleared, so no doubt, they will be trying to emphasize the european union's position that egypt needs a peaceful, transitional time into civilian rule. but from everything we are seeing at the moment over the last week and with the deaths on friday, more than 70 people killed, she will have a lot of concerns she will be talking about. >> african uni

if she lacked foreign policy experience coming in, her finesse as a politician, it helped to shape her style. >> the basic pieces of politics is getting to know people. it is listening, understanding, hearing people's issues. and she is brilliant at that. >> reporter: one of her favorite pet projects, clean cook stoves, supplying women in developing countries with these cost-effective healthier means of cooking. as for pet peeves? >> the one that i always fear the most triggering, is she has a very strong reaction when somebody steps on the back of her foot, her shoe. a flat tire. >> because people are always following her? >> people follow her and around her, so it has a higher rate of occurrence. >> reporter: but pet projects and pet peeves are not what will define her legacy. what will accompany her in the history books are moments like capturing osama bin laden, the arab spring, and a terrorist attack that left four americans, including ambassador chris stevens, dead. >> oh, the benghazi situation was just personally painful for her. personally just deeply painful. she had such an
